4th Wall eh?

Its 1:57am when I begin to write this...please forgive any spelling and grammatical mistakes.

Nifty analogy between the actor in the the movie and the ticket price Rob. This leads me to another point I wish I'd made previously. I've now taken this philosophy course, and I've seen various lecutres on the subject. Besides the fact that Philosophy and Theology are more or less the same, the concepts are always based on what the philosopher understood...or thought...or liked.

Although the most acceptable philosophy may be the one everyone likes the best, what is true does not have to be even realatively close to that. Socrates and Plato searched for the soul though knowlege, they based their thoughts off of the "understanding" that knowlege is incorporeal...and therefore the only thing that is our soul....more or less... Besides believing in one thing or another dosesn't matter... what is true and what the true nature of the universe IS and nothing we think or hope or wish it to be will be. The universe is not here for us...we are here for it.

To regres back to Plato and Socrates, Their philosophies spawned from the belief that we even have a soul, and that our soul is our true selves. Regardless of what you (The reader) may believe or not believe, the truth will not change depending on that. Say, for example, you are a devote Catholic...well, if you spend your entire life striving for the ideals of the church, and then you die...and there is no soul within you...then thats just it...you are dead...and anything you've done on this plane of existance is all that shall be.

Will Update Later...with the continued expansion of the atual argument that you hve yet to see... sorry guys
